Summary

In today's episode Joshua brings to us platforming royalty with Donkey Kong Country. This 1994 Super Nintendo gem was developed by Rare, published by Nintendo, and brought a truly unique 3D art style to a generation that was almost exclusively 2D sprite work. To stand out on a console known for its platformers takes a lot of firing on all engines and the soundtrack definitely did its fair share of lifting from composers David Wise, Evaline Fischer (Novakovic), and Robin Beanland. And yes, THAT song will be discussed.
